New guitar advice?

I'm about to upgrade to a newer (actually working) guitar, but I can't choose one... I like Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, Fender, etc. but every time I think about it, I can't decide. ANY HELP???

when I was going to learn guitar- I had my eye on this blaze orange IBANEZ gutiar, I really liked the styling of it, if I were to get a guitar today- it would be an ibanez, really for no particular reason other than the styling.

it really depends on your situation, and your level of playing. if your super good at guitar, than you would already know what you want, so im guessing you're still a mid-novice player. I would say if you play todays music, then I would say an Ibanez. its an all around good guitar for most rock and heavy rock or metal. and they not too expensive. If money is no option then buy a gibson les paul, or gibson SG or gibson explorer.

id say you should get an ibanez. pretty laid back while your still learning.

Squiers are great for beginners. I have been playing for about 7 years now and currently play an Epiphone Les Paul Studio. It's great and REALLY tough. Its been dropped a lot and the only thing that happened was a small crack formed but I sanded it down and it turns out the only the paint cracked. Every fall was from about waist high.

But anyways

Squier- great for beginners
Fender- pretty much a more expensive squier
Epiphone- very tough, cheaper than gibson
Gibson- more expensive epiphone
Ibanez- can be a great guitar, depending on which one you get.

If you get a cheap ibanez, its going to be crap. I had one and it didnt stay in tune. But my friend has a more expensive one ($400) and its freaking amazing

also if you cant decide do down to the guitar store and have a go at playing them all
see how the feel, how heavy they are ect
if your comfortalbe holding them
and how easy it is to play on them
try them all out to get the one thats right for you

go to a guitar center or music store near you and just try out a bunch of them, guessing usually doesnt do that good lol
